This era of rapid industrialization and human need of being upgraded with latest gadgets have caused heavy increase in electricity requirement. Orthodox energy resources are decreasing in amount and increasing environmental concerns due to pollution caused by them. Looking for alternative resource has introduced solar PV system as one of the most growing industries all over the world [1]. And land is one of the key commodity for erecting solar PV system. On a different note, up gradation of agriculture has converted conventional systems of irrigation into pressurized systems which has created the need of reservoirs and considerable power units for driving pumps. For the small scale farms, power consumption costs are big part of total cost which creates heavy load on the farmers [2]. Constant availability of sufficient water quantity for farming is another prime concern of farmers. Not achieving economic stability has led to suicide incidents of farmers across the globe. Above mentioned course of events has emerged Photo voltaic floating Cover System (PFCS) as a vital solution as it is erected on reservoirs which saves land. It saves water underneath it from evaporating and produces electricity required that too with increased efficiency compared to normal solar plant due to lower temperature of panel caused by water underneath it [3].The present paper gives an overview of Photo voltaic floating Cover System (PFCS).
